Merry Christmas

After much pleading and begging, my mom convinced us to sleep over on Christmas Eve. We have sworn this ritual off due to lack of sleep on previous experiences. However, we were promised a bed this time around and so we conceded. After a delightful dinner with cousins and Santa at my Grandma's house, we went to my mom's house for the evening. It is amazing what a bed will do for a person, as we slept great this time around. Christmas morning was fun and chaotic as usual. Wrapping paper and ribbon flying everywhere, and my dad following the kids around with a garbage bag to clean up. (we have alway made fun of him, but now the garbage bag ritual has become my habit...eek) Merry Christmas!
